Will ring alarm activate floodlight alarm?
No let me explain . i know that ring alarm will trigger the floodlight to start recording .. thats not the question . what im asking is when the ring alarm has been triggered by an intruder and the alarm is sounding . will it also sound the siren on the floodlight device ?

Tried that but when tested siren the floodlight camera's not sounding. Is this because I used the 'Test Siren' icon in the Base Station part of the app as this only set off the base station alarm ?

THi @whydoIbother. Using the Test Siren feature will only sound the Base Station siren. If you want to test the function of all your sirens ([Linked Devices](https://community.ring.com/t/alarm-feature-update-linked-devices-camera-siren/25922)), you can enter [Self Monitoring](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005322066-Understanding-Monitoring) and trip a sensor when armed. This is a simple way to test their function without alerting the monitoring station. Once complete, be sure to opt back into Professional Monitoring if you were being monitored. I hope this helps!

@Tom_Ring tried that and nothing happened, even the base unit alarm did not go off OK, got it sorted, phoned support and appears have to wait for sensors to 'clear' which didn't know about so all good now.

Hi neighbors! You are able to link your Ring Alarm system to your Security Cameras. This Linked Devices feature now allows you to set any Ring Camera with a siren to sound when your Alarm Siren is triggered. You can read more about it in our [Community Post here](https://community.ring.com/t/alarm-feature-update-linked-devices-camera-siren/25922). :slight_smile:

So it’s great you can link the floodlight siren to the alarm when it triggers, which I’ve done and tested, but why does it not work when you select the red ! Icon on the dashboard and select “siren only?” Seems obvious that should also work as it would be beneficial to trigger a siren to scare off an intruder/animal/etc rather than require a breach or police response to trigger the floodlight siren.
